ADC Mourns Peter Rufai and Calls Him a True Nigerian Legend
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has described late Super Eagles goalkeeper, Peter Rufai, as a true symbol of national pride. The party’s spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, shared the tribute in Abuja on Friday, calling Rufai, popularly known as Dodo Mayana, a legend of Nigerian football.
He said Rufai stood out as one of the greatest goalkeepers to ever defend Nigeria’s colours, adding that he embodied the courage, brilliance, and determination that define the Nigerian spirit. According to him, Rufai’s time on the pitch was more than just football. With every save and every moment he stepped onto the field, he proudly flew the Nigerian flag with unmatched skill, passion, and grace.
The party also extended heartfelt condolences to Rufai’s family, friends, the football community, and everyone his remarkable legacy touched. They prayed that his memory continues to inspire young Nigerians to dream, to serve, and to rise, just as he did.
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
